I have studied music and performed in Europe, and enjoy traveling there whenever I can. It has been my good fortune to have had taught some wonderful students in my career, and to have worked with some incredible musicians. I enjoy friends and pen pals who are any age from 20's to 80's, and from anywhere in the world. I am keen to know more about other people, their religions and their cultures.

Franklin was great on communication. He was a pretty low maintenance guest. We recommend he look for bnbs with first-level entry or an elevator in the future. It was nice to hear his stories about Detroit many years ago. We were happy he stayed with us even in the icy cold conditions. - A&C

I had no problems entering the accommodation, although I didn't know that it was in a basement. My hostess offered to help me take my bags out, because it had sleeted overnight, and the outside stairs and ramps of her building hadn't been salted. She did spread salt so that I might exit safely, but I take offense st her lecturing me in public about the necessity for a first floor or elevator building. She has no knowledge of why I use a cane to get around.

Franklin was a great guest! Very friendly and easy-going, and I enjoyed talking to him about his perspectives on my area and his other travel experiences. He was courteous and quiet and spent most of his time out seeing the sights. I would welcome him back any time!

It was a pleasure to have Franklin as a guest. He was extremely neat, quiet and considerate. Our communication over email and phone was very pleasant--I hope he visits again so we can meet him in person!
